Ryan Bergert, 3B, Glen Oak HS, Class of 2018

PBR: Why did you choose West Virginia?

Bergert: When I went on my visit I really clicked with everything there. The campus was amazing with amazing views and great facilities. 

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Bergert: The other Schools I was considering were Kent state, Michigan State, Youngstown state, and Eastern Michigan. 

PBR: Where did the West Virginia coaches first see you?  How did your relationship develop with them?

Bergert: They first saw me at the Perfect Game National Championship. The next day after they watched me, I got a phone call from Coach Sabins, then is when he told me he wanted me to come on a visit. Later that month I went on the visit and got to meet the rest of the coaching staff. 

PBR:  West Virginia has built a new stadium.  How does it feel to know that you will be one of the first recruiting classes to play on the field?

Bergert: It feels good knowing I'll be coming into a program that now has great brand new facilities.

PBR: What role do the coaches expect you to play your first year on campus?

Bergert: They have told me they want me to come in my freshman year and earn myself a job in the mound.

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process?

Bergert: Honestly I had no expectations for the recruiting process, it all came at me very fast.

PBR: Who is the toughest pitcher that you have faced in Ohio?

Bergert: That would have to be Kyle Nicolas
